Visiting all the lighthouses on Michigan's Upper Peninsula was not Sam and Becky's idea of an exciting summer--until they met a ghost who had been haunting the lighthouses for almost 100 years while looking for riddles. While their Mom and Dad research lighthouses for the book they are writing, Becky and Sam do their own searching. From shipwrecks to mountain tops to Paul Bunyan's backyard, they follow the trail that leads them along the shores of Lake Superior to Eagle Harbor. But it doesn't take long for them to realize that someone--or something--is following them. With more questions than answers, Sam and Becky are more determined than ever to solve the mystery at Eagle Harbor.
I picked up this book at a thrift shop and never realized it was the 2nd in a trilogy. I did enjoy it and caught on very quick of what was happening. It follows a Sam & Becky, brother and sister, on a family vacation to Eagle Harbor while their parents are writing a book about lighthouses. The story is a mystery but also give lots of factual info about areas in Michigan. I did enjoy it and hope one day to find the other 2 books in the series. I would recommend for younger readers.
The story is cute. It has enough adventure to keep little ones interested without giving anybody bad dreams. The real bonus is for anyone who has spent time in the Keweenaw. It was fun to follow along with Becky and Sam as they visit spots I have been visiting since I was a kid. We are looking forward to the release of "The Secret of Bete Grise Bay"
